Chapter 386

Su Bai held the note in his hand and gently rubbed his fingers on it. After the initial excitement, Su Bai calmed down.

After calming down, the first thing that came to his mind was this note. Could it be that someone deliberately placed it here to fish in troubled waters? Although in theory, the probability of this happening should not be high because the person who placed this note was not motivated by profit, which meant that he had no motive to do so unless the broadcaster arranged some personal task for him. However, the broadcaster was unlikely to give special attention. Otherwise, once the fairness was lost, the story would be meaningless.

Just like when Su Bai almost killed Su Bai's father in a fit of anger, the broadcaster almost issued a kill order for Su Bai.

Another reason was that people who played this way were likely to set themselves on fire because they would also be the target of the attack.

However, in any case, Su Bai had actually planned to make the first move. Firstly, it was because Su Bai was a high-level listener after all. He had the courage to do so. Even if everyone was poor and ordinary people now, an ordinary person who had been a king and an ordinary person who had been a small boss would definitely have a different attitude in terms of mentality.

Secondly, Su Bai really didn't want to let go of this opportunity. Although Su Bai had already thought it through for the little guy, if there was an opportunity in front of him, he would definitely take the initiative to fight for it as a father.

Moreover, it was much better to take the initiative to kill people than to let others kill him.

The kitchen knife was still in Su Bai's hand, but Su Bai did not intend to use this kitchen knife to kill people. In fact, this kitchen knife had been placed in the drawer of his bedside table from the beginning by Su Bai.

Using a kitchen knife to kill people was really a very stupid behavior. Su Bai went to the kitchen at noon to take a tomato and saw that there were still four kitchen knives left, which meant that three people, including himself, took the kitchen knives. The rest of the people must have noticed this, but no one continued to follow up.

Of course, this logical inference was based on the premise that no one returned the kitchen knife, and then someone else took it, or the person in front of Su Bai took two kitchen knives.

None of the nine people here were easy to deal with. No one continued to take the kitchen knives. It was very likely that the identities of the three people who took the kitchen knives had been fixed. And in this semi-enclosed space, what did they do after killing people?

Su Bai's mouth showed a smile. After killing people, everyone was trapped here anyway, so it was obvious to find the murderer.

Therefore, using a kitchen knife to kill people was equivalent to exposing one's identity.

It must be said that at this time, Su Bai's experience and Advanced Listener's understanding of the broadcast helped Su Bai a lot. This allowed him to predict the rules and follow-up actions of the broadcast to the greatest extent in advance.

So, if he didn't use a kitchen knife, what would he use to kill people?

Su Bai took out a piano string from his pocket. The piano string was a piano string. The piano was a stringed instrument. It did have strings, which were very strong. It was said that it was used as a military assassination tool in a certain period. The higher pitch string was very thin, and it could easily cut human skin.

Su Bai took this string very secretly, and no one had played the piano in the living room until now, so he didn't have to worry about being discovered. Even if someone deduced the murder weapon later, everyone had the opportunity to take it. At least compared with using a kitchen knife, the probability of being discovered was much lower.

Su Bai gently pushed open his door. At this time, all the residents on this floor closed their doors. Su Bai didn't know if the same note that he had just read was on their desks, but Su Bai didn't need to know, because standing at the stairway in front of his door, Su Bai could clearly see the woman who liked to sit in the living room and read books. At this time, she actually appeared there again.

Didn't that woman just return to her bedroom?

She came out again. What was she doing?

Su Bai frowned slightly. That woman entered the room and came out so quickly to continue reading. If she saw the note, it meant that this woman made her own judgment and choice in a very short time, even faster than Su Bai.

This made Su Bai vaguely feel a sense of fear. In this place, appearance and identity were fake, but some things couldn't be faked, such as: mentality.

Obviously, this woman's mentality was very scary, which could also reflect this woman's strength from the side.

The woman who was half lying on the sofa in the living room and reading seemed to notice that someone was watching her. She raised her head and looked at the stairway, and her eyes met with Su Bai's.

Both of their faces showed a meaningful smile at the same time. This time, their eyes met, and Su Bai knew that his plan to take the initiative to kill people had been put on hold. Because of the location of his room, if he turned around and walked deeper at this time, his actions would undoubtedly be half-exposed to the sight of this woman with rice dumpling hair.

Now that he didn't do anything, it would be fine. Once he killed someone, and this woman came out to accuse him, it would be an unexpected disaster for Su Bai. Because once he killed someone, and the broadcast would make the survivors look for the murderer according to his inference, that woman would undoubtedly become his biggest weakness.

This was because Su Bai knew the terrible nature of the broadcast. In order to increase the tense and exciting atmosphere, the broadcast would give the murderer enough motivation to kill people. At the same time, the broadcast should also stimulate the survivors to find the murderer. For example, if the murderer couldn't be found in the end, or most people confirmed that the murderer was not the real murderer, then it was very likely that other than the murderer, the rest of the people would be punished by the broadcast.

This was a bit like a werewolf murder, but the rules were different.

However, Su Bai did not return to his room. Instead, he walked down the stairs and went straight to the living room. He sat down next to the woman with rice dumpling hair.

"What book are you reading?"

If the woman didn't take the initiative to speak to him when he entered the room, this should be the first time Su Bai had a formal conversation with this woman.

"Murder on the Orient Express." The woman pointed to the bookshelf behind the sofa. "There are murder cases and files behind this. I even suspect that this is the study of the broadcast."

The woman was joking, but when Su Bai glanced at the bookshelf, he found that the woman's joke didn't seem funny at all. In addition to murder mystery novels, there were all kinds of case files on the bookshelf. There were English versions, Chinese versions, and even versions in other languages. The reason was very simple. The cases happened in different countries. If he read them with the translated files, it was likely that some information would be missed. Some details might even be blurred due to the translator.

Su Bai chose a book called "The Silver Serial Murder Case." It was unknown when this book was printed, and even the publisher was not marked. It looked like a pirated, privately printed work, but the paper and cover were excellent.

Casually flipping through the book, Su Bai found that about three-quarters of the first part introduced the case, but at the end, there was a statement that even concluded the case. In the epilogue, the author analyzed that the murderer had chosen to live incognito as the owner of a small supermarket. While enjoying the pleasure of escaping from the law, he tried to spend the rest of his life in fear. Even talking in his sleep had become a taboo for him.

At the same time, the author also deduced the time when the murderer was caught. At the end of the book, the author also deduced that the murderer had made an anachronism. With the development of biotechnology, the development of DNA technology, which was more terrifying than simply identifying fingerprints, had made the author's concealment completely a joke. This was because the murderer had left behind a large amount of his own semen, as well as blood from the fight. The author speculated that as long as DNA technology was popularized and the domestic DNA database was collected to a certain scale, the murderer would be caught sooner or later. Even if the murderer could control himself, he would not be able to control those who were related to him by blood.

Su Bai suddenly thought of the story world of the "Silver Serial Murder Case" that he had experienced. The murderer later became a listener and entered the story world, and the murderer deliberately covered up for himself in the story world. At the same time, he gave the person a sum of money to find a place to hide and open a small supermarket.

There seemed to be a subtle connection between the two. Thinking back to the fact that this was a world of stories, it was obvious that the radio sometimes liked to stand on the side of a third party and think about some of the unsolved cases that had happened in this world for thousands of years. Of course, from the perspective of the radio, the difficulty of finding the murderer could not be any lower. Perhaps the reason why the radio did this was because they wanted to gain some inspiration from these unsolved cases.

Taking a deep breath, Su Bai chose another book and sat back on the sofa.

The night was very quiet, but also very depressing. At this time, in this villa, everyone should have their own ulterior motives. It could even be said that they all had murderous intentions.

Therefore, in the living room, only Su Bai and the woman with the dumpling hair, the tranquility of the book, was set off by the atmosphere.

"Do you know how to play the piano?" the woman with the dumpling hair asked Su Bai.

Su Bai did not comment.

"According to you Chinese people, the dagger has been revealed, so if you play a song at this time, it should not arouse any suspicion or special attention."

Su Bai smiled, got up, and sat in front of the piano. Although there was a string in his pocket, as long as he paid attention, it would not be a problem to play a song.

However, when Su Bai's finger had just pressed down, he suddenly found something strange. Then, Su Bai pressed several more keys in a row, but there was still no sound.

Su Bai immediately got up and opened the piano cover.

A corpse, whose whole body had been pierced by the piano string, was lying inside. Its eyes were full of horror.

Su Bai immediately turned his head to look at the woman with the dumpling hair, only to find that the woman with the dumpling hair was also standing behind Su Bai with a shocked expression.

Huh?

Didn't she do it?
